KUALA LUMPUR: Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd Group announced today that its group chief executive officer (GCEO) Datuk Rohana Rozhan has resigned with effect from Jan 31, 2019 - but that she will remain on the board as a non-executive director.

Astro's group chief content & consumer officer, Henry Tan, who has been with the pay-TV operator for more than 10 years, will be Rohana's successor.

"Datuk Rohana has been an inspirational leader to all at Astro, having led the team in setting many firsts and milestones for the media industry in Malaysia.
